You are all excellent!!!

I'd forgotten about nearly all those!!!! Especially not fitting in bath - which I really should have because we didn't have a shower either of my pg's.

Alibabaandthe40nappies - sounds like you're in the same boat as me!!

Iris66 - goodness me, you're so close. Is your baby breech? Just wondered with you saying you get kicks in your hmmm mm.

Qally shock how could I have forgotten about acid reflux and heartburn!!

And the childbirth bit - maybe I'm weird but I enjoyed my labour's and delivery's. With DD I had a 3 hour labour and went to sleep between contractions (she was born 03:24 am) and with DS I was in labour for 9 hours altogether but only had gas and air - I did have a LOT of red bull tho cos I'd been up all night with sporadic contractions - he was born 13:54pm.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!! I'm now gonna shut-up and admire all you pg ladies that are going through it - us ladies are strong aren't we? To achieve something so precious

iris66 and qally wishing you easy remaining weeks (iris in your case days) pg and happy healthy lo's grin

Alibabaandthe40nappies - best of luck TTC

Thanks again everyone - I massively appreaciate this - it will make DH's life a little quieter easier

agonising walks to nursery
worrying if you can actually "do" childbirth even though you've done it before hmm

Good luck TTC!

We are 8 months away from TTCing DC2 and I'm trying to remind myself how potentially hard it will be so that I don't wish the months away!
Ok, this may seem a little strange but...

We are due to start TTC baby #3 in September and although it's only about 8 weeks away I find myself unable to think about anything else and it's starting to irritate DH so please please please could someone remind me how difficult pregnancy is and see if I can dampen down my impatience!
I do have a son (3yrs) and a daughter (4yrs) so I should know this already but my brain is doing a good job in only allowing me to think of bump and backache! hmm

Strange request I know, sorry! blush

PLEASE HELP MEEEEEE.....
